Ophelia was pushed out by the nurse and sent to the ICU which only allowed one visitor at a time.
Zach went in first.
He put on the special clothing for visitors and walked to her bed, where he could see all the tubes
getting in Ophelia. She looked so pale. His heart ached like stabbing.
Zach cautiously held the hand without needles on. He touched her fingers and said gently, "Ophelia,
I'm so happy you're fine now. The tubes on you are looked so weird. Please week up and get them off.
I'll stop loving you if you keep looking so weird!"
Zach's eyes turned red, and then he suppressed all his emotions in the depth of his heart.
"You're such a ruthless woman. Is this your way to punish me? You want to hear love from me? That's
fine, just wake up and I'll give you the three words you loved most."
Zach compromised, "You don't look well at all. I don't want to send my love to an ugly girl. I'm the
president of a large group, managing thousands of employees. I can't humble myself to love an ugly
girl. Just get better and get well-dressed. I'll take you to a fancy and romantic restaurant, giving a
surprise that you'll remember for the rest of your life!"
Zach raised his hand and pressed the corner of his eye, keeping the tears from getting out.
They all said that man shall not cry easily, but nobody could keep his true and deepest feelings from
getting out.
In just two days, Zach's mood swung like a roller-coaster trail.
Zach leaned his head lightly on Ophelia and choked with a sob. "Honey, I swear I'll treat you nicely
after you woke up. I'll keep my words. If you stop terrifying me like this, I'll come back for dinner on time
and take care of our son with you. Wake up! Our baby needs you, you babe needs you, too."
Ophelia was still lying quietly on the hospital bed, not reacting to his words at all.
A teardrop suddenly fell on the floor. Pitter-patter... the second and the third one kept falling down with
Zach's suppressed whimper.
A few minutes later, he said depressively: "Woman, if you wake up now, you will be the boss of our
family. I'll do whatever you say. You'll be the queen, and I'll be your servant."
He had compromised as far as he could, but Ophelia still was not responding at all.
Zach stayed in the ICU for half an hour. Before he left, he wiped the tears off his eyes. Then he walked
out as if nothing had happened.
Helena looked up at him and asked, "Did you cry?"
Zach answered, "No. There's nothing to cry for. My woman has her blessing. She'll wake up tomorrow."
Helena glanced at him with a half-laugh. "You're my son, and I know you well. You can tell me if you're
worried about her. You're a couple. Are you afraid of being laughed at by me?"
Zach didn't look very pleased.
He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Mom, I'm gonna go for a drink with James. He traveled such
a long way here, and I should treat him as the host. Please take care of Ophelia for me here."
Helena finally had a warm smile on his face, "Go. entertain him nicely. Your father and I will host a
banquet for them when Ophelia recovers."
Zach nodded. Just when he was about to leave, Helena told him, "Don't forget to tell the police to find
the driver who caused the accident. No mercy on him once he got caught!"
"Mom, you don't have to tell me that. I've been too busy to ask them if they've found the drive. I'll get on
it as soon as I have time. Don't worry."
Zach said.
Zach called James out to an open-door barbecue.
"Do you like the food here?" Zach asked as he pointed over.
James said, "Come on. We've had this years ago. I love your food. It looks good, smells well, and
tastes nice. I learned your language because of it. Let's go and grab a drink!'
As they walked into the place, many customers were attracted by their tall figures and handsome looks.
The owner and waitress was a lady. She stepped forward and asked, "Hi, this way, please. Let me wipe
the table clean for you."
She blandly wiped the table which was already very clean. James winked at her and said, "Thank you,
ma'am."
The lady felt as if her heart had lost a beat.
Zach hit James lightly and said, "Ma'am, please serve us some food and beers."
The lady felt a bit dazed. Even her voice sounded like murmuring. "OK. Just wait here and I'll get those
for you."
She moved very fast and soon brought over some beers. Then she asked kindly, "Wait for the food
before you drink the beer. Drinking with your stomach empty at night will harm your health."
James said with his charming voice, "Ma'am, you're beautiful."
The lady was too busy and didn't quite catch what he said, and she was already been charmed by
James's eyes and was already stoned.
Then she left with her cheeks flushing.
